Got attacked by chickens in a coop when I was 2. I remember the adults freaking out more than the poultry assault. The clearest memory is my grandpa chasing them with a belt, presumably as punishment but he may have just not liked chickens.

This is true. Since my only luck has been with corks while staying still I'm reluctant to fish while I'm paddling or riding the current/tide, especially if I've had success at a particular spot in the past.

I understand the logic though.

Thanks for the reply. Will definitely try one of these on the next outing.

How does that all tackle do in the weeds? I can see the hook is rigged "weedless" but the spinner and beads look like they would get caught in the grass pretty easily.

So I've taken up kayak fishing as new hobby since the wife and I bought a couple yaks earlier this year. I had never really fished before other than kid stuff but after a couple months of trial and error I'm now consistently bringing home a few redfish and the occasional black drum every trip. Mostly hitting delacroix, sometimes PAC.

I feel like i should be doing better based on what others claim to be catching. Everything I catch has been under a popping cork with live or dead shrimp. I typically throw the cork to one side of the boat and fish the other side with soft plastics on jigheads or weedless spoons. No luck at all with these lures regardless of color. Everything I'm reading says spoons across the grass beds should work but I get no strikes at all.

Just curious if anyone has any general advice.
